In his fifth year of education, Hogwarts was put under the eyes of the Ministry of Magic with Dolores Jane Umbridge working as a spy due to events that took place the previous year, as well as being Professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts. Umbridge caused an uproar amongst the students since she refused to teach defensive spells, despite it being said that Lord Voldemort was at large once again. Hermione Granger, a Gryffindor, felt she ought to do something about it. Hermione then founded an organisation called Dumbledore's Army, where students learned how to defend themselves and fight in combat, being taught by Harry Potter, who has had experience in fighting Voldemort off several times.

Seventh year and Battle of Hogwarts

"Is it true? Did you break into Gringotts? Did you escape on a Dragon? It's everywhere, everyone's talking about it, Terry Boot got beaten up by the Carrows for yelling about it in the Great Hall at dinner!"

Notes and references

↑In Deathly Hallows, Ch. 39, Terry was hiding out in the Room of Requirement with Dumbledore's Army before the members Neville summoned from outside the school began to arrive. This means he attended Hogwarts during the 1997-1998 school year, and must have been either half-blood or pure-blood, as Muggle-borns were banned from the school under the Voldemort regime. However, his blood status is given as Muggle-born on the student list shown by J. K. Rowling on Harry Potter and Me.
